The 2014 Budget
Melissa Abberton
Main Factors Impacting the 2014 Budget
• The MYEFO announcements in November 2012
- $11 million
• The 2% Efficiency Dividend announced in April 2013
- $8 million
• Removal of Facilitation Funding - $4 million
• 2% Pay rise - $15.3 million
• Deferral of savings to be realised from service process
improvements from 2012 Admin Reviews - $7 million
18 September 2013
5
Main Factors Impacting the 2014 Budget
• “Solving our Budget Challenges” program introduced
to compensate for lost revenues
• $21.450 million in savings need to be found
• Of these savings $20.250 million to be found from
the recurrent budget
• This will still deliver a University deficit of $32.1
million in 2014 before we achieve a small surplus of
$6.5 million in 2015
18 September 2013
6
How to Allocate the $20.250 million?
• The Senior Management Group (SMG) agreed to
use the Transparent Budget Model as the
mechanism to deliver the savings
• At the SMG retreat a number of modelling options
were assessed to determine how the savings should
be allocated
• This has lead to some changes to the 2013 Budget
Model to be adopted for implementation in 2014
18 September 2013

SO WHAT IS DIFFERENT IN 2014?
• For Colleges this will reduce all Revenue
A Budget Solutions
Streams so applied to:
Repositioning Adjustment
NIF, HECS/CGS, all RBG schemes,
will reduce Allocations
DTF & ISF
DTF Allocation Rate will
Change
HECS/CGS allocation rates
across Colleges will be
Harmonised
Apply Overhead Charges to
HDR Fee Waived Revenues
18 September 2013
• Academic & Administrative support
share of savings applied in proportion to
their share of total support area
Operating Grant allocations
• Equalise the DTF and HECS/CGS
allocation rates to more equitably
distribute domestic student overheads
• All allocation rates will be the same
• Reclassify the Medicine and Law
subsidies as “Off the Top Deductions”
• Apply overheads to HDR Fee Waiver
load in the same way as overhead is
applied to other students with waivers

and calculated at AOU
• No fee grandfathering from 2014

Watch this Space……..
• A Capital Development Plan
• Student Load Planning
• TM1 Budget Model
18 September 2013
12
A Capital Development Plan
• Should be part of the annual budget process
• Should be based on a 6 year rolling timeframe
• Integrated with the financial statements and the transparent
allocation budget.
• Capital expenditure levels should, as a minimum match, the overall
level of depreciation expenses.
• Strike an appropriate balance between minor works and major
capital projects.
• Priorities should be evidence based
• Priorities should be determined by the SMG.
18 September 2013
13
Student Load Planning
• PASS has developed new student load
models to project commencing and
continuing load by program
• Will be further developed during 2014 to
more fully integrate with the Budget Model
for projecting tuition fees and allocatiing
HECS/CGS revenues
18 September 2013

TM1 Budget Model

the model

Assets Update
Samantha Chan
Asset Key Points
• Activities at college level impact on the overall
university’s financial position
–
For e.g. payments coded to 5xxx instead of 3xxx
18 September 2013
54
Asset Key Points
• Asset Management System (AMS) is a
subsidiary ledger of the General Ledger (GL)
AMS
GL
• The two ledgers need to balance at the end of
each period
–
–
Asset reconciliations
Remember that you have to manually add assets to AMS where you have processed a
payment fulfilling the asset capitalisation criteria. Manual for AMS can be found:
http://fbs.anu.edu.au/training --> Asset Management.
18 September 2013
55
AMS vs. GL
• AMS
– Holds asset detail information
» For e.g. serial IDs, colour, location, make of the asset
» Relevant for stocktake
– Posts Financial entries (to the GL)
» Depreciation, addition, disposal entries etc.
GL
AMS
18 September 2013
56
AMS vs. GL
• AMS automatically calculates and posts
depreciation to the GL
• AMS automatically posts entries on asset
transfer
–
Business units do not need to process an actuals journal entry, unless they want this reflected on a cash
basis (i.e. on FMR). Where this is the case, please contact srli@anu.edu.au.
18 September 2013
57
Asset Key Points
• Assets need to be held in the same R department
in AMS as in the GL
» GL side: Voucher payment on R24100,
» AMS side: Asset to be added to R24100 as well
(If not, AMS and GL are not reconciled.)
» Please note that assets cannot be held across multiple departments in GL (3xxx) and AMS.

1. Via the body of the e-mail itself

Recommendation:
– Limit Collaborative E-mail to those staff that:
• Have a very limited number of transactions; and
• Do not regularly use the system for other purposes
– Can still get e-mail notification that allows you
to click on link that takes you straight into the
workflow transaction once a user id and
password is entered – Same as approving
